Infrastructure pieces

Account System

The Fedora Account System keeps track of Fedora Project contributors and the projects they work on. It is used to grant authentication and authorization to various components. This currently includes the various CVS repositories and Bugzilla .

Bugzilla

Bugzilla is the Fedora bug-tracking system and is used to submit and review bugs that have been found in Fedora distributions. Bugzilla is not an avenue for technical assistance or support, but simply a bug tracking system. If you submit a defect, please provide detailed information in your submission after you have queried Bugzilla to ensure the defect has not been reported yet. Defects will go directly to the engineer responsible for the component you filed the defect against. Engineers have many responsibilities and will get to the bugs you have submitted in due time.

Package Database

The Fedora Package Database aims to consolidate the information on the packages present in Fedora. It will allow us to perform queries on packages and their maintainers as well as some of the administrative tasks associated with them (branch co-maintainer requests, etc.)

Schedule

Tickets

In order to better support the Fedora developers and the community at large, the Infrastructure team has created a ticketing system to track issues, feature requests and anything else related to the Fedora infrastructure.

Version Control

The Fedora Infrastructure CVS repository holds such things as the fedora.redhat.com website, the Fedora Core "fedora-release" sources, and a mirror list manager project.

You can request write access by applying for membership in the cvsfedora group in the Fedora Account System . Furthermore, you must be approved and added to the appropriate ACLs. Normally, write access is granted only to those who are known and have established a prior need to commit to one of the modules in this repository. As a measure to prove yourself, you can always send us patches created using anonymous read-only access. You can file bugs and submit patches against Fedora Infrastructure using Bugzilla .

The officers generally decide what needs to be done in the day to day operations of the various Fedora infrastructure facilities. The officers themselves work for the developers and end users but ultimately report to the Fedora Project Board. This basically means that we'll try to do whatever we can to fill needs and fix things but if we refuse for whatever reason, the final decision can be made by the Fedora Project Board. Such decisions, however, are rare.

For more information on our officers and governance method see our Officers page.

Donations

The Fedora Project has occasionally received donations of hardware which is used for the Fedora Infrastructure.
